Product catalog summary
Introduction
Boltorn™ dendritic polymers are advanced materials designed to enhance performance and comfort in various applications. These polymers are characterized by a densely branched backbone and numerous reactive groups, offering excellent flow and processing properties at high molecular weights.

Main Applications
  • Performance additives for flexible polyurethane foam, particularly in automotive seating.
  • Oligomer precursors for UV-curing applications, providing scratch resistance, adhesion, and flexibility.
  • Water-dispersing additives for solvent-borne paints, reducing VOCs.
  • Reactive diluents for VOC control in high-solid alkyd paints.

Technology and Product Range
Boltorn™ products are produced using polyalcohol cores and hydroxy acids, forming hydroxyl-functional dendritic polyesters. Key advantages include a large number of primary hydroxyl groups, a densely branched polymer backbone, and extensive formulation possibilities.

Product Characteristics
  • Boltorn™ H2004: 6 terminal hydroxyl groups, 3,100 g/mol.
  • Boltorn™ H311: 23 terminal hydroxyl groups, 5,300 g/mol.
  • Boltorn™ P500: Formulated bimodal product, 1,800 g/mol.
  • Boltorn™ P1000: Formulated bimodal product, 1,500 g/mol.
  • Boltorn™ U3000: Modified with unsaturated fatty acid, 6,500 g/mol.
  • Boltorn™ W3000: Modified with non-ionic groups and unsaturated fatty acid, 10,000 g/mol.

Specific Product Benefits
  • Boltorn™ H311: Provides exceptional firmness and stability in flexible foam.
  • Boltorn™ P500: Offers high firmness at low compression set.
  • Boltorn™ P1000: Allows monomer-free formulation with low viscosity.
  • Boltorn™ H2004: Improves ink flow and chemical resistance in flexographic inks.

Radiation Curing
Boltorn™ products enhance radiation curing applications by providing oligomer precursors that increase the molecular weight of UV formulations. They offer excellent reactivity, scratch resistance, and low shrinkage.

Architectural Coatings
Boltorn™ additives help comply with environmental demands by reducing VOCs without compromising performance. They improve drying in wood stains and reduce costs in water-extended solvent-borne paints.

Conclusion
Perstorp's Boltorn™ dendritic polymers offer innovative solutions for enhancing product performance across various industries, with a strong focus on sustainability and environmental compliance.

Boltorn™ dendritic product range Boltorn™ products are produced using polyalcohol cores, hydroxy acids and technology based on captive materials. The dendritic structures are formed by polymerization of the particular core and 2,2-dimethylol propionic acid (Bis-MPA). The base products obtained are hydroxyl-functional dendritic polyesters. Fully aliphatic and consisting only of tertiary ester bonds, they provide excellent thermal and chemical resistance. Extensive branching also improves reactivity, lowers viscosity and results in balanced mechanical properties. Three technology advantages 1....
